recommend that the Community Development Director find that the proposed project is
inconsistent with the Historic Preservation Ordinance with the following findings:
• The relocation and expansion of the front façade is inconsistent with the Historic
Preservation Ordinance, since taken together with previous additions and alterations, the
buildings integrity and the integrity of the setting would be diminished such that the
property would not retain its contributing status.
